AXA Insurance Thailand Urges Homeowners to Rethink Their Coverage in the Wake of Recent Earthquake

While most people are familiar with coverage for events of fire and natural disasters like earthquakes, floods, storms, or hail damage, home insurance should go further. Depending on your household's needs, additional coverage options may offer essential protections that are frequently overlooked. Examples of additional coverage to consider include:

  • Liability for third-party: Coverage in the event that a third party experiences an accident within the home due to a danger in the property and such accident is the legal liability of the insured. For example, a guest slipping on a wet floor and sustaining injuries or causing damage to their belongings.
  • Damage to built-in fixed glass: Coverage for permanently installed glass panels that may be damaged by natural disasters.
  • Pet-related expenses: Coverage for veterinary expenses for pets that are cats, dogs, or birds, that are injured within the home due to fire, lightning, or earthquake.
  • Accidental death coverage: Coverage in the event of the death of members of family resulting from fire, robbery, or burglary occurring within the home premises.

Guillaume Mirabaud, Chief Executive Officer of AXA Insurance Thailand, commented: "The safety and security of one's home is paramount. The recent earthquake has highlighted that standard coverage may not provide adequate protection for all scenarios. At AXA, we are committed to ensuring homeowners fully understand their coverage options, enabling them to select protections tailored to their specific needs. Our goal is to provide comprehensive solutions that deliver genuine peace of mind to homeowners across Thailand".
